If 49 litres of a milk solution has 63% milk in it, then how much milk should be added to make the concentration of milk 70% in the solution? |
$11\frac{13}{30}$ litres $14\frac{7}{30}$ litres $12\frac{11}{30}$ litres $13\frac{1}{30}$ litres |
$11\frac{13}{30}$ litres |
Ratio of milk and water = (63 : 37) x 3 = 189 : 111 Ratio of milk and water after addition of milk ⇒ 70 : 30 = (7 : 3) x 37 = 259 : 111 In both cases. the ratio of water remains same ⇒ (189 + 111) = 49 Liters, ⇒ 300 units = 49, ⇒ 1 units = \(\frac{49}{300}\) Liters, Now, milk added = 259 - 189 = 70 units, ⇒ 70 units = \(\frac{49}{300}\) x 70 = \(\frac{343}{30}\) = $11\frac{13}{30}$ Liters. |
